How it's used
Refers specifically to a formal or strategic partnership, often in political, military, or high-stakes business contexts. Unlike general friends or partners, it implies a shared goal or common enemy that binds the parties together. It carries a slightly more serious or grand tone than simply calling someone a 拍檔.
